I'm having trouble with clarity possibly due to micro vibrations during extreme macro/micro photography. I'm using a D3400 and there's no anti-vibration for it or IBIS. I have everything sandbagged and I'm using a ring light.
This photo is a fly eye with 30 second exposure and focus stacked. As you can see, the focus is terrible. I really don't think this is due to how extreme the diopter is, but it might be since it uses a reversed 18-55mm lens set to 18mm with 404.4mm of extension tube/bellows on it. Have I reached the limit of light for this lens where it will never be in actual focus or do I just need to rig up some snoot lights to drastically lower the exposure time to reduce possible vibration problems?
